Wine Advocate
One of Napa's most impressive examples of the variety, Lail's 2022 Georgia Sauvignon Blanc—picked long before Labor Day's scorching heat wave—features crushed stone notes, a subtle fumé character and fruity hints of lime, tangerine and guava. It's medium to full-bodied, plump and expansive on the palate, revealing plenty of texture and length. The vineyard was originally planted by George Yount in 1839, but the current, dry-farmed vines "only" go back to 1988. Planted to Merlot then, it was grafted over to Sauvignon Blanc in 2006–2007.

Jeb Dunnuck
Coming from a part of the old Napanook Vineyard in Yountville, the 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Georgia is all varietal from the Totem Estate Vineyard just outside of Yountville. It's a much more serious white offering beautiful aromatics of ripe melon, pineapple, honeyed flowers, and subtly spicy, musky nuances. These carry to medium-bodied white that has rock-solid concentration, a balanced, layered mouthfeel, and a great finish. While it's brought up in 30-40% new barrels, you wouldn't know it from tasting it.
Notes
96-points The Wine Palate: "The 2022 Georgia Sauvignon Blanc is 100% Sauvignon Blanc. It opens with evocative notes of white peaches, ripe pears, and lime blossoms, leading to hints of sea spray and coriander seed. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers intense orchard fruit flavors with a compelling kiss of oak, contributing to the satiny texture and offset by great tension, finishing long and layered."
